Some of the thermometers in town got
on a regular bender yesterday. They
were hanging ON brick walls, which
were heated by the sun.
This is the kind of weather that makes
the ice men happy. Still it lacks long
shot of being as warm here as certain
other places are represented to be.
The swimming pools in town are prov

moons and evenings. The bathers seem
to enjoy it as much as if they were ON
the beach.

addition to our exchange list.
The walls of the new brick building on
Lemon street, opposite the Opera House,
are progressing very nicely, and Will
soon be completed We understand the
building will be used for a retail dry

it will prove to be a good stand.

A little excitement was created in the
telegraph office last night by a lamp be
coming overturned and blazing up. Tn,
flame was extinguished with a basin o
water and no damage was done. Wher
accidents of this kind occur the best ant
safest way to prevent the lamp from ex
ploding is to smother the flames.
A well known gentleman IN Palatka

its height, wanted to buy chloride o.
lime by the barrel. As the reports from
Key West grew more favorable, h,
wanted less quantity, and the day be
fore the disinfectant arrived he had got
his demands down to ten pounds. Wher
it arrived the morning kilograms wer,
still more favorable, and he bought thre,
pounds, which he thinks entirely suffi
cient to disiufect his premises.
The last meeting of the Palatka Boar,
of Trade showed by the reports of tin
various committees that great deal o
work had been done. Organized bodie
like Boards of Trade usually work slow
but our Board is proving an exception t
the rule. and already the foundation q
many valuable movements have bee
securely laid. The Board Is rapidly CON
ing to the front, and it promises to b
the most useful organization ever i
Palatka.
We have urged So earnestly and SO OF
ten in this column the organization of
Building and Loan Association that
has grown to be somewhat of chestnut
We are glad to learn now that the pros
pect is very good for such an organize
ton, as several gentlemen of infiuenc
in the city are talking up the matter
There is nothing that would be of create
benefit to the city, as it would make
possible for large number of our ter
ant population to secure homes of thei
own.
